    I'd say F15.... and oh so close to 20. There's a hit in the obverse field that I think might prevent it from holdering at the big two TPGs. Still a nice piece though...tougher no-stars type...L

    F-15 is my guess. Here's a similar one I just got back from PCGS (F-15). Thread at 8 o'clock is on the slab, not the coin.

    I think yours is a little nicer, but I'm not sure if it would make VF.

    I actually think it looks like it endured a cleaning long ago...

    Tough call, I would guess between F12-F15. That nick in the obverse field is why I think it might bump down to F12.

    Maxed out at F-15 based on NHSbaseball's coin, but a strong F-12 if nothing else.

    I grade it F15 by details, but value it at F12 due to the nick. Would be a very choice piece for the grade if the nick was not present. It has to look of a really nice original coin that was never cleaned.
